SCRANTON, NOVEMBER 6. 1896.
Jones of Arkansas should take a rest.
Concerning the High School.
At the last meeting of the Scranton
board of control the Hish and Training
School committee Introduced, and the
board passed, the following resolution:
In view of the luree increase In the at
tendance ut the public schools of this city
uilJ the consequent Increase In the teach
ins force which has multiplied the work of
our superintendent to such an extent ns
to require un assistant ill his department;
hti.1 as the opening of the new liiuh school
has shown an attendance In that depart
ment of our schools much laruer tlinn
ever, requiring a close and constant su
pervision which our superintendent by
reason of the manifold duties Incumbent
upon him with reuard to the lower Krudc
of schools, cannot b- expected to Hive;
we therefore recommend that the su
perintendent be relieved from the super
vision of the hiKh school and that the
principal thereof be held responsible di
rectly to the hoard for the work done In
the school under his charge.
This resolution, we understand, was
drawn up in secret session, without the
knowledge of the superintendent. It
therefore can scarcely be said to have
originated In a desire to spare him un
necessary labor; nnd must be construed
ns n gratuitous exercise of meddlesome
authority, for which there Is no warrant
either In law or In fact. That there Is
no warrant for It in fact Is proved by
the statement that Superintendent
Ilowell-lmd never tiRked nor Intimated a
wish to be absolved from a full per
formance of the duties customarily ap
pertaining to Ills dlico. That it Is with
out warrant in law is shown by section
Fovon of the act of June 2S. IS!)."., "to
n culate the ertablishincnt. classification
mid maintenance of hiKh schools, the
distribution of appropriations In nld of
high schools, and the employment of
t nchers In high schools receiving state
aid." That section reads as follows;
High schools established in accordance
with this net of assembly SMAl.l., 111'.
VXMKIl TIIK SI'IM'.RVISIOX Oh" THIJ
!u-rKi:ivrK.iKNT n Till': city,
boic.i:h or county in which they are sit
:ntd. Tt will be perceived that the language
of this net Is mandatory nnd does not
leave the matter open, to the discretion
of the school board. The purpose of this
provision Is to Insure unity oT super
vision and uniformity of Interim! gov
ernment among nil the public school!) of
n given community. If n precedent like
that contemplated In the resolution
passed by the Scranton board of con
trol last Monday night be permitted to
stand unchallenged. It will be only the
question of a brief time until under our
beautiful system of school government
by factions, first this sub-school and
then tlrtt sub-school will want its in
(lepeiiflent master, and ere lilng the
whole system will be reduced to i hnos.
The purpose of this article Is not to
defend Superintendent Howell nor to
take sides In any warfare of school
board factions. We do not pretend to
know what the nble politicians of the
board of control would probably call
"the true Inside" of this recent and ns
toiiinling action. We only know this:
That the best interests of the people of
Scranton; the bent Interests of the
fathers and mothers who have children
In the public schools, demand clearly
nnd plainly that there shall be no de
centralization of the public school sys
tem of Scranton; no disintegration of
that system Into a collection of inde
pendent nnd Jealous separate entitles;
no sacrifice of the unity which Is essen
tial to its fullest success nnd no fac
tional violation of plain law. If It Is
not possible for the present employes of
the city in Its schools to work together
harmoniously nnd to good advantage,
let the obstreperous personages be lo
cated and discharged; but In the cater
wauling of petty factionalism don't sac
rifice the usefulness of the hlirh school
nor detach It ns a thing apart from the
system of which it Is the climax and
the logical head.
There is plenty of good mnterial for
President McKinley's cabinet. The
new executive will suffer, if at all,
from an embarrassment of riches.
All Right.
It Is altogether possible that a good
many people during the past few
Weeks of animated political strife
have been Inclined to take too pessi
mistic a view of the ability of this
nation to govern Itself. Now that the
election It) all over, we hear scarcely
a syllable of protest over the result
on the part of those who lost; und In
every quarter the forces which make
for progress, whatever their alignment
prior to Tuesday, are already at work
for the promotion of the general pros
perity. If there was any serious
poisoning of class against class, or. if
the virus of sectionalism and social
ism took hold to any dangerous extent,
we have not seen the evidences of it.
Take for instance the following re
mark of Treasurer St. John of the
Democratic national committee. It
affords a good Insight Into the mental
condition of the vanquished. Says he:
"The people have declared themselves
unmistakably. I therefore cordially ac
quiesce. The next four years nhould
amply test the single gold standard in
the United States. I am confident that
the party In power will be quick to
abandon it with sufficient proof that It
is a failure. The agitation must have
been sufllctent to promise this. I shall
try to experiment and certainly will
welcome the restoration of prosperity
which our late opponents promised us
with their victory. In my opinion the
sllverltes In the Senate owsht not
longer to stand In the way of legisla
tion by the majority."
It does not belittle the manliness of
this statement to say that its author
had no alternative but to submit. It
is true that the minority In a govern
ment like our own has to acquiesce.
But it is none the less true that it
makes a big difference whether that
minority bows to' Its submission sullen
ly and with ill feeling and 111 temper,
or whether It accepts Us fate uhlloao-
phlcally and with something tf tha
grace which Invariably characterizes
real pluck. Making allowance for one
or two yawps from the expiring Jones,
we hear nothing from our recent foe
which Indicates resentment or chur
lishness, and if a campaign so hot as
this-one has been can be fought out
without scars, need we fear much as
to the future?
The American republic Is all right:
the American people are all right; and
their Joint future will be all right if
they will continue to exercise their
present common sense.
Before the election becomes ancient
history we wish to say a word in praise
of the splended service supplied on
election night by the United Associated
Tresses. Through its operator in Th
Tribune building this enterprising
news organization gave us not only
earlier but also more accurate news of
the count In all the Important states
than was ever before contributed to a
newspaper In this city. Everything
worked like dock work, nnd to this
valuable auxiliary is largely due the
promptness and completeness of The
Tribune's three editions on Wednesday
morning.
Some Party Creditors.
Before we dismiss the campaign of
1SU6 there are three men who have had
to do with the organization of the na
tional Republican contest who deserve
some public expression of the party's
just gratitude for good service rend
ered. The first of these very naturally
Is National Chairman Mark A. Hanna.
Before the convention met last summer
at St. I.ouis, Air. Hanna had already
demonstrated to the country his quali
fications for generalship. He entered
Into the canvass for the nomination
comparatively speaking an unknown
mnn. He emerged from It wearing fair
ly captured laurels equal to any in the
political Hut. His selection ns national
chairman was a logical outcome of his
successful buttle for his friend's nomi
nation; ami his conduct of the later
campaign has been fully as Incompar
able In Its way as was hi.) management
of the udmlrable canvass which preced
ed it. Mr. Hanna has confirmed the
availability of the business man In poli
tics. He is a living embodiment of the
theory that success can be won In the
fields tif political competition' by meth
ods not unlike those which determine
success In the ordinary walks of com
merce. Candor, energy nnd organization
are his guiding principles and he has
proved that they are not doreptlvo ones.
The result of Tuesday's balloting fairly
enrolls Mark Hanna among the ablest
and shrewdest and best of the nation's
politlcians-ln-chlef.
Modestly remaining in the back
ground, reserved of speech and not
given to (losing for effect, Is a man who
is no stranger to I'ennsylvnnla or to
the nation. The, ie had known his
ability for yenrs; the other received a
token of it during the memorable cam
paign of 1SSS. The junior senator from
lvr.nsylvnnln, Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay, has not figured so largely In print
during the past three months of spirited
battle ns have some other gentlemen nt
RcpuMb'nn headquarters, but we take
no risk in suggesting that If the truth
were known It would be found that lie
was not second to any In sngnclous
counsel or In effective work. We il l not
wish to Imply any challenge of com
parison when we say that he Is easily
us great a creditor of the party ns Is
any other Republican within Its ranks.
What he did he did quietly, unsurround
ed by blare of trumpet and glorification
from the public press, and if there Is
Justice in the beneficiaries, as we think
there Is, he will not, after March 4, have
to supplicate for recognition which
should be his by voluntary and grate
ful proffer.
A third figure still remains to be men
tioned in the person of Hon. Joseph W.
Babcock, of Wisconsin, chairman of the
Republican congressional committee.
Mr. Babcock Is not perhaps so widely
known to the country as is either of the
others of whom we have been speaking;
but he Is known to all who have occasion
to watch the Inner workings of national
political struggles. He Is known to
them ns not only an able and scholarly
legislator, w hose work In committee and
In debate Invariably commands respect,
but also as one of the keenest and most
systematic of political generals of his
generation, in either party. When lie
sets out to accomplish a point he never
rests until he achieves It. An example
mny be cited from our own common
wealth, In the Hlcks-Throop muddle in
the Twentieth congressional district.
Here, It will be remembered, each of
two Republicans claimed to be the regu
lar Republican nominee, and by their
refusal to yield threatened at one time
to turn the district over to the enemy.
Everybody in the district was afraid
to Interfere, but Chairman Babcock
wanted that vote to be saved for his
party In congress, and after a careful
Ftudy of nil the facts he declared fear
lessly and emphutlcally in favor of
Hicks. Largely as a result of his de
cision Hicks was elected, and very
largely as a result of his coolness, skill
and perseverance in similar emergen
cies the next congress Is safe for sound
money. He Is another man to whom
the next administration will be morally
indebted.
We do not anticipate any trouble In
the hour of settlement We regard Wil
liam McKinley as a man who under
stands the need for and appreciates the
necessities of party organization.
There Isn't much doubt in any sensi
ble mind that we have too many elec
tions in this country. But it Is easier
to say this than to secure relief. The
people seem to like the excitement too
well to change In the direction of con
servatism. ,
Paying the Price.
The secret of of the vote In Kansas
and Nebraska simply Is that In those
two states the mftjoritly is progressing
backward. When people are falling
behind in life they are ready to listen to
any kind of heresy, on the mistaken
principle that they are already so bad
ly oft they have nothing to lose. A few
months will suffice to demonstrate to
the Intelligent people in these two
western states that this principle is
erroneous. When eastern capital, un
der the stimulus of last Tuesday's vic
tory, begins to look about It for prom
ising Investments In the west. It will
draw Its pen across the spots on the
map which represent Kansas and Ne
braska and choose instead some of
their neighboring states which appear
less thoroughly given over to the dis
honest notion of repudiation.
The South, too, has hurt Itself Im
measurably by tts identification with
Rryanism. Of all sections the South
Is most dependent on outside capital.
It can raise cotton and, raitor-baeked
hogs without outside help; but the mo
ment It wants to aspire to a higher
plune of Industry and a more diversi
fied and progressive form of civilisa
tion than can be acquired on a basis
of cotton at 6 cents a pound and razor
backed hogs, it has to look to some
distant source for the helpful means.
The opportunity was presented to It
during the recent presidential cam
paign to get rid of some of its tradi
tional handicaps and to get rendy for
future good political society. To some
extent It availed Itself of this oppor
tunitynoticeably In Delaware, Mary
land and West Virginia, states form
ing the border line and rapidly becom
ing Northern In their business charac
teristics and affiliations; but the fur
ther down we sro the less encouraging
the showing becomes, 'and as we said
before, the South itself must In the
long run pay for its folly.
But If these sections lose In this way
as a consequence of their own bad po
litical judgment there Is. consolation in
the reflection that they cannot fall to
profit in other ways from the political
verdict which they so strenuously op
posed. The prosperity sure to result
from restored confidence In the honor
and stability of the American curren
cy und in the near certainty of re
newed Protection cannot by any means
bo confined simply to those communi
ties which returned electoral votes for
McKinley. It may be felt there first,
since money Is most likely to choose
those places' as the sites of Its earliest
activity. But as the pebble cast In the
mill-pond's center sends ripples to the
remotest shore, bo this activity of cap
ital In the quarters where moral Integ
rity nnd sound Judgment are strongly
In evidence will not stop there, but will
reach the sorriest communities In the
most I'opulistio parts of the South and
West, nnd will luve them, also, in the
suelltide of good times.
In other words, we may all bo happy
yt.
The best political correspondence
supplied by any writer to any news
paper during the recent campaign was
written by Wnlter Wellmnn to the
Chicago Times-Herald. The best and
cleanest and fairest newspaper pub
lished during that campaign was the
Chicago Times-Herald. The best all
round newspaper in the world today Is
the Chicago Times-Herald. Let us
give merit its due.
New York tried hard to steal Tenn
sj lvanln's honors, but wo are glad to
note that this magnificent common
wealth still leads the Republican pro
cession. The election of Crow in Philadelphia
does not seem to have threatened the
perpetuity of the government half us
much as might have been Imagined.
If Mr. Bryan decides to accept any
of these tempting offers of employment
he had better imist upon a long-term
contract, with salary guaranteed.
Let us hope Oeneral Benjamin Hani
son enn be prevailed upon to become
the next secretary of state.
Brother Carman has this to console
him there were those who fared
worse. '
Mr. Bryan evidently missed his guess
on his "child of destiny" theory.
Quay's guess wasn't far wrong.
General Comments
On the Resiilf
Chicago Times Herald: McKinley Is
elected. These three words Unshed over
the wires on land and over sen, tell n
story which will refresh the heart of ev
ery American patriot In subjection to er
ror or prejudice and encourage the friends
of a republican form of government
Wherever dispersed. McKinley Is elected.
It means that ttiu wheels of Industry will
turn; that the fires will be lighted In the
furnaces; that the machinery of the mills
will begin to move; that peace and plenty
will bless the laid. .McKinley is elected,
it meuns that capital will take new cour
age and renew its work as the developer
or the resources of this great country;
that hoarded dollars will emerge from their
hiding places and puss from counter to
counter and from hand to hand. .McKin
ley Is elected, it means thnt thousands
of men and women now iille will have
a chance to earn a living; that hungry
mouths will be fed and poverty-stricken
homes be made happy. .McKinley la
elected. It meuns that the national honor
has been vindicated; that every depart
ment of the government will be main
tained In Its integrity; that repudiation
Is dead; that revolution is rebuke. I; that
mob law- will not be tolerated. .McKinley
is elected, it means that section cannot
be arrayed against section on any polit
ical issue whatever In the lifetime of this
generation, and that the loyal south vies
with the loyal north ami the loyal west
In devotion to the best Interests of a
common country. McKinley Is elected.
It means that capital and labor are r.ot
to be pitted uguinst each other 111 u Ill's
and death struggle, and that class Is not
to be arrayed ngainst class in Internecine
warfare to the shame of our Christian
manhood. McKinley Is elected. All goes
wt II. All will go better. In the words of
the lamented t.iarMi 1 1, Uod reigns and
the government at Washington still Ives.
Toronto Globe: The American republic
has passed through a serious crisis nnd
has come out triumphant. The election cf
.Major McKinley by a ilecisive majority
shows that In spite of disquieting slmia
In oratory and enthusiasm u sound po
litical judgment possessses the jreat ma
jority of the people. The result
on American politics will probably be a
new adjustment of the party lines accord
ing to industrial or financial conditions.
The fight has been conducted on the lln
of debtor against creditor, want against
have, poverty against wealth; and it liny
be that division will be more clearly main
tained In the political contests of the fu
ture. Tile dissntlrlled classes, both rural
and urban, have made a mistake In thr Ir
first concerted effort. They adopted a
policy that would not accomplish the end
in view, nrd discovered their mistake In
t:me to abandon it. That will not prevent
them seeking nil effectual palicy at the
r.ext opportunity, perhaps a policy more
dangerous than currency debasement.
Whatever Issues mnv arl.-e they must
be faced and s tiled by the American
people, for their social discontent does
not find a safety-valve In emigration.
littsbnrg Dispatch: In the vast number
of gratifying reflections established by
this magnificent victory two or three are
especially salient. One is that I he Amer
ican people have got beyond the reach of
cheap money sophistry. They are never
susceptible to that delusion except in
time of business adversity; and this cam
paign show that they are now beyond Its
reach even In such a period. Another and
even more gratifying fact Is the Ugh It
throws on the futility of the accepted
methods of demagogy. For the past two
months tha Ilryan campaign has been to
a remarkuble and unprecedented extent
composed of Impositions on the Ignorant
and uppeals to class hatred and the ele.
meat of discontent. The hope was, plain
ly, that tho number of the two classes was
enough to win the contest for ilryan. The
result shows that the American people
are not yet to be misled hy shallow de
ception, nor to be deluded to their own
Injury by the gospel of hate. Movements
for redress of real grievances, supported
by appeals to sober reason, will In the
future, as In the past, stand on their own
merits. Hut the gnat fact Is established
that such shallow demagogy as the na
tion has witnessed for the past three
months only leads to its own complete
confusion.
o
Philadelphia Bulletin: To McKinley
wise, modest, even-tempered, every day
of the campaign disclosing new trait of
sagacity in his well-balanced life may
now be paid the tribute due to patriotic
leadership. It has been a matter of no
small fortune, not, perhaps, us much rec
ognized as It should be. thnt the candi
date or the Republican, party In a cam
paign In which the hales and prejudices
nnd Infirmities of human nature have
been played upon by the demagogue and
the fanatic, has been a man not simply ol
upright life and sober Judgment, but of
moderate speech. He lias shown himself
throughout to be candid, patient and for
bearing, relylns upen the sense anil honor
of his countrymen with something of the.
Lincoln-like fulih. 'o taunts, no bitter
retorts, no revllemenls have ut any time
been beard from Canton. He has com
manded the resiiect of his enemies, for
at least, his personal conduct; a candi
date less wise would have plunged Into
the strife with a passion and Invective
that would have been treasured against
him in his hour of triumph, nnd acquies
cence in the verdict on the part of u min
ority even under the Influence of the des
perate counsels of the past few weeks
will, therefore, be comparatively easy.
o
Buffalo lOnqulrer: There is something
especially gratifying to ever lover of
manliness, purity, integrity and loyalty
to conviction in the election of William
McKlnley.Tliere Is every reason to be
lieve that he will enter upon his duties
conscientiously, with the thought of '.he
good of the people uppermost In his mind,
with a well dcllned policy laid down which
he will not be nfrald to avow and main
tain, nnd with a harmonious party In his
support. The era of speculation, theat
rical surprises, political mysteries, futile
Intrigues, deficient revenue, and spend
thrift borrowing, is happily over. Bet us
have Industrial and financial peace.
Washington Star: Contributory to a
victory destined to be so memorable in
our history were these: (1) A lead
er without fear or reproach. A man
of admirable poise, of the highest
character, of well-defined convictions and
large experlnce In public affairs, Air. Mc
Kinley ulready strong when nominated
grew upon the country day by day both as
citizen und us candidate. It would under
state the ease simply to say that he madu
no mistakes, lb? was a positive and not a
negative quantity for good all dining the
fight, lie carried himself superbly
throughout. Through addresses to visit
ing delegations, lie spoke to tho whole
country dally, and ulways In words of
soberness and truth. Ilu proved to be in
every way worthy of the great responsi
bility. (-) A perfect organization. Sir.
Hanna's work merits the highest praise.
He will receive the gratitude of the coun
try. He hushed ructions, inspired con
fidence, brought together men who had
been widely separated and demonstrated
nt every point the capacity of an organ,
izer and director of large forces for large
ends. (31 The excellent organization, as
well, of the sound money liemocrats, and
the courage and patriotism they mani
fested. Jeered at by the thoughtless,
sneered nt by the sneuks, misreprcsei.tecl
or misunderstood by others whose opin
ions they hnd valued, they went their way
without hesitation or upology, and have
mude an Imperishable record of grit nnd
good sense for themselves. (4 The union
of capital and labor, where division had
been sought to be effected. Iluslness men
turned out. agn-eamers turned out.
They worked together. And both worked
for good. Tho wage-earners particularly
rebuked the shallow demagogies who
fancied they could be misled about their
own Interest. There was no organized hy
pocrisy by the wage-earners, as was pre
dicted nnd encouraged, but Insteud a man
ly comprehension of man's estute, nnd an
Inspiring exhibition of self-respect, sound
sense , nnd love of country. Nobody
emerges from the struggle with more to
his credit or In better form than the
wage-earner. () The power of the press.
Never was that power more forcibly il
lustrated. In Boston, New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Chicago nnd Louis
ville, where the Democratic newspapers
repudiated the Chicago ticket and plat,
form and allied themselves with their Ite
piihhran and Independent contemporaries
for sound money, Democratic majorities
were wiped out, and all of those clllts
were gatheifd Into the sound money
fold. It Is the brightest chapter In th"
history of the American press, and It
will never be surpassed. And the result
of all this? It can have but one result.
The country Is a thousand per cent,
stronger today than It was yesterday
stronger In Us own eyes nnd In the eyes
of the world. A serious crisis has been
passed triumphantly. Popular govern
ment has never been so thoroughly vin
dicated. The people nre the sources of
the greatest nnd the best power, nnd they
will enjoy now a prosperity which must
follow so signal a step toward the restor
ation of confidence and good will among
men.
